Safety Notes
6.10.12.2 Eye protection for MP systems
System with inverted microscope stand:
It is not necessary to wear eye protection.
If the device is used as prescribed and the
safety notes are observed, the limit of the laser radiation is maintained so that eyes are
not endangered.
System with upright microscope stand:
The IR laser beam can be deflected or scattered by the specimen or objects moved into
the specimen area.
Therefore, it is not possible to completely eliminate hazards to the eye from IR laser radiation.
Using protective eyewear
(specification: 680-990 DIR L5 / 990-1064
DIR L4) is required.
Appropriate safety goggles for IR laser radiation are provided with the system when delivered.
The supplied eye protection only provides safe protection against the infrared
lasers supplied by Leica Microsystems
CMS GmbH.
